I want to say thank you to my beta shinee1234 for her work on this chapter.
Rhiannon could see that Ianto was panicking when she said that he was in labour. It was understandable as they had no way of delivering the baby and they needed a doctor but what doctor could be called to do the surgery without freaking out?
"Its too early for labour," Ianto shouted between bouts of pain. "I'm still in my seventh month. Its too early!"
"I know, I know sweetheart but the baby wants to get out," Rhiannon told him. "A lot of babies are born premature and they still survive."
She took him by his shoulders and walked him to the sofa to lie down and have a bit of rest while she was thinking of what to do. She could try and call the hospital, but what would she tell them? If she didn't call anyone, what would happen to her brother and his baby? Ianto was wilting in pain on the sofa and she would not be able to do anything but watch him bleed internally and maybe even die on her sofa. She tried to calm him with shushing noises and rubbing his back, while silently crying and panicking.
The door to the house opened and Johnny came in. Soon she would have to go pick up the kids from school and she had no idea what to do. Maybe Johnny would go and pick them up when she explained everything. Before Johnny could see Ianto, Rhiannon moved away from him with an apology and went to meet her husband and explain the situation to him.
"What do you mean pregnant?" Johnny shouted in surprise. "I thought you had a bloke for a brother, not some cross-dressing girl."
"He is a bloke Johnny," Rhiannon said.
"Well, he bloody well isn't if he got pregnant."
"It wasn't his fault, it was some kind of a freak government experiment. They even took 2 years of memories from him."
On hearing this Johnny bristled. He might be an insensitive bloke, but when it came to his family, no one was allowed to mess with them. He ran to the living room with the idea of asking Ianto about the name of the lab and organisation and God help them when he got his lads together to go and storm them. He was going to beat the living shit out of these poncies. Looking at the state Ianto was in made him want to find the people responsible and beat them into a pulp.
"Rhi, call Susan and ask her to pick up Mica and David from school and keep them at hers for now. They don't need to see this. I'll go and get a doctor, and someone will come even if I have to drag them by their feet."
Rhiannon nodded and grabbed the phone to call Susan and explain that they had some issues with the house that needed fixing and asked whether she could pick David and Mica together with her Tessa and give them some dinner. She also told Susan that she would return the favour soon. But before Johnny could even leave the house to go and search for a doctor to help Ianto, a man in peculiar clothing entered through the door.
The man had short light brown hair,a slender build and a strange variety of weapons raging from a sword to some futuristic guns. He wore a combination of tight fitting black trousers, a grey shirt and a red military jacket.
"Hello handsome," he greeted Johnny with a predatory grin.
"I don't have time for benders like you, and by the way who the bloody hell are you?"
"Oh, yeah, Captain John Hart," John introduced himself and ignored Johnny's furious glare and dodged the punch thrown at him. He dismissed Rhiannon's annoyed protests and almost ran to the sofa." I'm here for Eye Candy!"
"Ianto has enough problems without some homo idiot like you barging in." Johnny shouted and followed John through the house trying to provoke him into a fight.
"How did you know Ianto was here?" Rhiannon asked.
"Oh, I didn't, I was looking for Jack by tracking his live energy signature, and I got this one here." He looked down and Ianto. "Is Eye Candy pregnant? No wonder the baby's life energy overrides the father's when it is about to be born."
"He has a name. His name is Ianto not Eye Candy," Rhiannon protested. "And what do you mean the father? Ianto was impregnated in a lab."
"Well, no, by what my Vortex Manipulator is telling me he was impregnated by Jack Harkness."
Both Rhiannon and Johnny gaped at him, not understanding how Ianto could be pregnant naturally by a man.
"I'm calling Owen Harper, he is a doctor. Let's see if he can help Ianto and then we can talk."
At that moment Ianto lifted himself up from the sofa and breathed a bit more calmly. It looked like the first few contractions of labour were over and he would have a little breathing space before the next one.
"What are you doing here?" Ianto asked looking at John with anger. "What the hell do you want now?"
"You know him?" Rhiannon asked.
"I…I remember…I remember…everything," Ianto whispered.
"I just called Jack, but reached his voice mail again," John explained.
"Oh, God, if Jack saw me like this." Ianto looked down on himself. "He is probably already married to Gwen and they have a baby on the way, and now he is going to see me pregnant as well."
"Does it matter, the baby is his," John said. "And what do you mean family with Freckles?"
"Doesn't matter, I'm calling Owen," Ianto said, and snatched the phone from Rhiannon's hand. It was a good thing that he remembered Owen's number because he had thrown away his old phone when he had left Cardiff. Now he remembered Gwen taking him home and giving him something to drink. Oh, that bitch! It wasn't enough for her that she had Jack; she wanted Ianto completely out of the way.
"Owen" Ianto said the moment he heard the medic picking up the phone. "Owen, I'm at Rhiannon's, and I'm in labour right now. Please come…"
"On my way tea boy, and welcome back," he could hear the smile in Owen's voice. He heard a commotion on the other side of the phone and Owen shouting to Tosh and Jack. "Ianto is back with us, and we're going to deliver a baby." Then the line went dead and Ianto ended the call and lay down on the sofa with a sigh, trying not to think about what was going to happen.
